Description The next evolutionary link.
With the Red 22, SRAM has updated their top-of-the-line chain for 11-speed compatibility, while shaving weight, and boosting strength.
The slightly narrower profile is precisely optimized for SRAM's 11-speed cassettes, while heavily chamfered outer places reduce noise and ensure reliable shifting performance. A new inner plate finish and chrome hardened pin construction further durability, and like last year's Red chain, HollowPin™ technology keeps weight to a minimum.
The Red 22 chain is compatible with SRAM and Shimano 11-speed systems. 242 grams, 114 links. Includes the PowerLock™ silver connector/masterlink. It's pre-lubed with the PowerLube™ high performance lubricant.
Please note that SRAM suggests that a new PowerLock connector be used each time the chain is broken and re-connected.

Great Chain

I use this with my Force 22 setup. Usually get this cheaper than the Force 22 chain. Keep it clean and lubed I get about 5-6K mile of use out of it.

SRAM Red 22 chain
I have used 6 of these chains on a SRAM RED HRD Drivetrain. Love the master link and easy installation never a stiff link. Chain runs and shifts great.
I get about 1000 miles out of each chain. I weigh 177lbs and climb 10,000 to 12,500 weekly. I typically deep clean (citrus degreaser with a chain cleaner tool) 3 times per life of the chain.

SEEMS TO LAST LONGER...

I only purchased this chain because it was on a super sale and it seems to be lasting longer that the cheap chains I usually purchase. I'll have to do some mileage tracking to find out if it's true...

Great chain!
Less expensive than Dura Ace but just as solid dependable. A tad smoother quieter.

The chain is light and makes my SRAM Red R22 drivetrain swift faster and quieter.

Reliable performer

Just what I had expected on my new S-Works Tarmac with SRAM Etap shifting, but pricey. I like the quick fastener, but Shimano has switched to them also. Anyway, I went back to Ultegra (for the much lower price) and noticed no difference in performance. Great shifting and longevity.
